I had a little meeting last year about renewable fuels with Oaf-icials of the Alberta ministries of Environment, Agriculture and Energy, with only the agriculture guy having alot of useful input. He thought it wasn't a problem to distill for fuel purposes (after all, Canada did ratify Kyoto Acc!) but all the oaf-icial paperwork I've obtained includes miles of red-tape (way more than in the US)and seems to imply that a Canada Customs oaf-icial must be present when operating - as if! It would be an interesting precedent-making court case, for anyone caring to tackle it...
